Spouse Murder Defendants in Large Urban Counties
Approximately 1 in 3 spouse murder cases disposed in 1988 in the Nation's 75 largest urban
counties were sampled. More than half of the Nation's murders occurred in these 75 largest
counties. Of the spouse murders sampled, 59% were husbands killing wives, and 41% were
wives killing husbands. This report discusses how State prosecutors, judges, and juries handled
these two types of murder cases and gives specific case histories, describing each case and its
outcome in court.
